Postfun's Historically Accurate Movies That Took the Time to Get It Right

"Whenever the words "based on a true story" are at the start of a movie, it's hard not to get a little suspicious. Most Hollywood movies are going to take some dramatic liberties with historical events, whether it's to make them more interesting to watch or to make a complex chain of events more digestible. So stories get changed, plot points that didn't happen are added, and multiple people that a historical figure knew are compressed into one composite character. But while almost all biopics and historical movies are guilty of this to some extent, not all of them play so fast and loose with the facts. So we're celebrating the ones that got as much right as possible." - postfun.com
